Mounted search and rescue

Hello Folks,
 
On the evidence destruction problem. One way to promote  your unit with your 
Sheriff's Office or any Police agency is to do what I  did this last Spring. 
Invite the agencies chief of dectative or his  appointed person to one of 
your 
business meetings. Request this officer to  give a talk about evidence 
protection. He/she can also talk about evidence  gathering if you have to. 
Believe me 
this helps to verify any past  information you have given your unit And word 
certainly gets back through  the agency you are trying to do good things and 
how educated you are. We  found it is a good idea to carry barrier tape and a 
few surveyer small  metal stakes in your saddle bags. The tape is to mark off 
a 
 crime or suspected crime scene area and the metal stakes  to stick in ground 
to mark evidence or other.
